Even more striking, another student in the same art class drew a picture of President Obama and was praised by the teacher.

“The picture of Barack Obama was in red, white and blue hues,” Hathaway said. “ The teacher said it was great. But when it comes to the flag – all of a sudden it was offensive?”

Hathaway said she took her concerns to the principal – and he was “floored” and apologized for what happened. He arranged a meeting with the Hathaways and the teacher.

“My husband point-blank asked her what she found offensive about the picture – the American flag or the words, ‘God Bless America,’” she said. “The teacher didn’t say a word.”

The superintendent told FOX that he had contacted the principal and that the issue “was taken care of to their (the parent’s) satisfaction.”

“The school administration and the parents did not view this as significant enough to bring it to the superintendent’s office,” he wrote.

You can read his entire written statement at the link.

It seems the parents found the issue significant enough to bring it to the attention of Fox News. Moreover, Hathaway says her daughter has not yet received an apology, and in fact, the art teacher told her that she shouldn’t have gotten her parents involved in the matter.

Why does this teacher still have a job?

UPDATE:

Mrs. Hathaway and her daughter appeared on Fox News to discuss the incident. They still haven’t received an apology from the teacher:

Jason proudly introduces himself at his new posting headquarters, Election Link, as the founder of the “Crash the Tea Party ” website, a hero who has been successful at “destabilizing the home grown terrorist network known as the Tea Party movement”.

He wants to destroy the “tea party candidate”, Rand Paul, and prop up his Republican Primary opponent, Trey Grayson, a former Dem (apparently an infiltrator to his mind?)

Rand Paul campaign signs should be removed. Any road side signs should be thrashed, destroyed or defaced.

Pretend to be a Ron Paul supporter. Just like some of us destabilize the tea baggers by pretending to be them, we can also hurt Rand Paul with this method.

Here’s some tips when you’re out pretending to be a Rand Paul lunatic.

Those Rand Paul signs you removed from the road side, draw swastikas on them and show up at the polling place pretending to be a tea party supporter.

Tell “fellow” Republicans you support Rand because he:
A, Supports abortions at nine months.
B, Wants to raise taxes and that “we must all do our fair share”
C, Supports the health care bill.
D, Supports Al Qaeda because “Rand knows they are innocent”
E, Republicans are sensitive to 911, tell them you support Rand because he knows 911 was an “inside job”
F, Make stuff up. The crazier the better!

Remember, Republicans are a brain washed bunch and are easily fooled, the more outlandish your reason for supporting Rand Paul, the more they will believe you, they do after all believe everything Glenn Beck says.

This latest post at Election Link is so over the top, now I’m wondering if this guy posting as Jason Levin is for real. Would a man who was temporarily suspended from his job teaching at a middle school in Oregon, (but quietly reinstated) endanger his job further by more illegal, ethically-challenged, bizarre, loony-tune online behavior? And if he is for real, what is his game? Is Trey Grayson really a lib, posing as a conservative?

But on the other hand, there are disturbing signs that Grayson is a liberal, big government loving RINO; chief among them isthis reportthat he gavethe keynote speechat a Van Jones sponsored climate change conference, last year. That is something no true conservative would ever have on his resume. And what conservative would ever saythis, for crying out loud. . For a whole laundry list of reasons to stay clear of Trey Grayson, see the Classical Liberal who lays out the case against him quite nicely.

It’s almost like Levin is a double agent, engaging in counter-espionage operations. His work for “Crash the Tea Party” resulted in no one taking offensive signs at tax day tea parties all across the nation, seriously…(even if some were by actual oddball tea partiers). And now, this latest move tipping people off about the RINO running for the Senate in Kentucky…

It’s just weird, I tell ya.

Big hat tip to Stacy.

Related weirdness from someone who claims to have been reporting on Jason Levin and a “his vigilante group’,Perverted Justice, for the past 6 years”:

I don’t know enough about Perverted Justice to have an opinion about the work they do. Their websitedocuments over 505 convictions in 39 states across the United States, but their tactics are deemed questionable, and have been criticized.
